 NO!!! When I was a teen I was became involved in ballet and modern dance. My dance teachers (dance teachers are infamous for overworking their students and encouraging them to starve themselves. At age 32 I was 5'6" & weighed 102lbs) worked us to death and all we heard was NO PAIN NO GAIN. Over and over. So I carried that with me throughout my 20's and 30's and into my early 40's dancing, cycling, running, weightlifting. Then I tore my shoulder rotator cuff. That messed everything up. Definitely no more weightlifting, which I loved.
I got lucky and had an excellent PT and I told her, Well, you know how it is - no pain, no gain. She was  Absolutely not! Never! The moment you feel pain your body is telling you to stop! So. Immediately stop and lessen your activity or you risk injury. Got it?
That kind-of changed my life about a lot of things.
